I thought I was done with Resort, and it's sort of pointless to write about now, but these last few are just too good.

Proenza Schouler

UM, are you there Jah, it's me Ras Trent?! No? Maybe? Well, if he was more stylish. But the Proenza Ras Trent still reads Judy Blume, because there are such good cutesy touches to these looks, like the collar peeking out from a sweater and what look like friendship bracelets. The rest of the collection is less stoner-y, but these were my favorites. Don't judge me.

Christopher Kane

I gave Kane a way hard time last resort season for not taking an idea as interesting as pictures of bomb testings in 1950's America to a more conceptual level, but I have fully converted to his ways with photos (resort collections aren't supposed to be conceptual anyways. Lighten up, June 2010-era self!) Nebula prints have been done before, but the shapes add a lot. I like the weird punk-fairy vibes at the top-right, and the space-hippie vibes second from the left on the bottom, and the safari-astronomer vibes to the right of the space-hippie vibes. Vibes, man. Vibes.Also the fluffy shoes. I would sit in a giant swivelly chair and pet them, if I owned them. Plus they help to differentiate the idea of nebula prints from something futuristic or natural; they're wonderfully tacky and feel sorta Clueless (Dionne, maybe Ambular, not Cher.)

Alexander McQueenA resort collection that is designed to sell isn't the one to use to evaluate Sarah Burton's new job as creative director at McQueen, but it still excites me for the direction in which she's taking the label. I won't be disappointed if the coat in the bottom left is any kind of indication; the shape is one McQueen never really touched, but the symmetrical embroidery calls to mind a number of prints from his previous collections.

Missoni

I am always up for a really awesome photo print as in the cases of Christopher Kane or Risto Bimbiloski, but it's also cool when optical illusions are created with weaving or embroidering or stitching or what have you, as is the case here. I like the idea of wearing something that looks kinda magical from far away but whose individual threads are each visible up close. The bangles ruined some of the looks for me but I don't care because I've been hypnotized by those pants, top left.

i love the royalty of new mqueen's collection and outer space in kane's designsproenza's first dress is my fav and when it comes to missoni i like the hipnotizing prints but for me it's just too much goin'g on thereuanset.blogspot.com

These were really good collections. I,too, loved the idea of a Drug Rug sweater for a high-end collection. I love the way Proenza turns things that are considered bad or looked down on by society, and turns them into things that look cool or accetable. Only they can do that. After losing McQueen, it seems hard to think that anyone could carry on the brand with the same energy and art, yet, Burton seems to be on the right track. No one can ever replace McQueen, but her collection seems to show a lot of respect for the designer. Missoni has been getting SO GOOD these past few seasons. Everything is funky and fresh and cool. Printed knits are the best. Great post, as always!

These are all really beautiful collections. I love the tribal patterns in Proenza Schouler, the SPACE PATTERNS OMGGG in Christopher Kane. I'm really in love with those ones. And the Alexander McQueen collection really impresses me, it almost looks like it could have been imagined by McQueen himself. Almost.

Nice post...! Kane's collection reminds me of the Prada one from a few season ago (mostly in the cut).

I used to work at Alexander McQueen in London (check my blog: http://valentineavoh.blogspot.com/2010/07/mcqueen-years-part-three.html) and Sarah Burton was definitly the best choice to carry on the brand... She was really hands on and Alexander's twin when talking about design/conception.... And she was fun to work with so... I'm not worry about the direction the brand will take... It will be McQueen from a woman's point of view...

im lovin this collection of christopher kane! to be honest i didnt really like his last collection with that gingham cutouts and shiz which made me not like him for awhile, so this is his saving grace :Dand i think the bangles in missoni really complement the outfit, but if they did away with them, it would be fine. but i dont like how they were added to the outfits on the top right and the center bottom. missoni and christopher kanes resort collections for the win!

I am loving Proenza Schouler more and more... Stoner Chic!? I could have never dreamed up such a thing, but yet its so right. Christophern Kane's resort collection is one of my favourites, interesting shapes + photographic print, I like it. Very impressed by Sarah Burton's first offerings as creative director or McQueen. She had some pretty big shoes to fill but it looks like she's up to it. Your writing is brilliant as always. X

My favorite is most likely Christopher Kane, because it's so majestic and dreamy (as is space, and that is probably why I'm saying this.) It makes me think, once again, about the fact that there are other galaxies and that the universe is never-ending... But this collection, full of ambition and hope, makes me happier and more exhilarated than ever about this fact.

ahhhhh... proenza schouler and kane's collection is both oh so ammmaazing. i still cant get over it. if only i had the money to even buy one item, my life would be complete!!! ahhh!! perfection rolled up in one collection...

I did like PS Resort this year and also McQueen. Both were very nice!! Those long dresses from McQueen? And the gray dress you posted? Perfection.I can see why you like Christopher Kane too, but it's not my personal style. It is a pretty sweet collection though.

P/S win the prize. i like their sunset/thunderstorm colours and this kinda poncho look.Missoni should be obliged to hand out slips of paper: "Warning. Looking at our current resort collection (when in motion) may cause epileptic fits. But in a good way."

Missoni is definitely my fave. I love the look in the bottom right, and I WANT THOSE SHOES. Also, wearing just one or two of those peices makes an outfit, and is really wearable. Still can't stop staring at bottom left.
